Pricing Summary: $350 shipped (US and Canada) for hardware only kit. If you want to use the lowest cost plain rotors, they cost about $120 shipped for a set of 4. So total cost would be $470 + drilling the rotors for 5x100. The drilled/slotted rotors I have been using run about $250 shipped for a set of 4, for a total cost of $600 + drilling the rotors for the 5x100.
$565 shipped (lower 48) for full kit with plain rotors.
$640 shipped (lower 48) for full kit with drilled/slotted/zinc coated rotors.

I will even entertain trades for the hardware kits... Not sure what I need... 88 Fiero parts, metal fabrication/machining tools, F40 transmission/parts or LS engines (even the truck motors). PM me with any offers.
how about a complete rust free 1988 Suspension set up with bearings, links, control arms, cradle, crossmember, spindles, etc? though shipping will be really expensive.... unless someone is making a trip from somewhere near Pewaukee, WI to you.

I really do not have a need for any 88 front suspension parts (have four 88 front suspension set ups on the shelf - yes I am an 88 packrat).
IMSA side vents or other fiberglass parts, Mad-Arch Widebody, Fiberglass GT nose, IMSA side vents, or other fiberglass parts are of more interest to me.
UPDATE: I am working through an issue with the vendor for the Style 3 Blingy Rotors... just ordered a new batch (Same vendor, same part #) and it looks like they have changed the drill/slotting pattern since my last purchase.
Old Style 3:
New Style 3:
This new style just does not have the same visual impact, so I am checking to see if they will get some of the older style 3 rotors even if I have to buy them in larger quantities. Also checking with a few other vendors to see what their drill/slotted pattern looks like. Anyone who had recently PM'd with interest in a brake kit already has a PM from me explaining the issue.
Love your kit great communication , we should all appreciate members like this that put time into developing a great set up .Cant wait to get my brakes thanks for the tracking numbers and outstanding communication . I will be posting pics soon !

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! I spent quite a bit of time and effort to find the right grouping of components and I am pleased that people are appreciating the end product.
As of this morning, I only have 2 rotors (1/2 set) in stock, but they are just an order away. Still have plenty of brackets/rings for 15+ hardware kits.
Looks like my rotor vendor has changed drill/slotting patterns once more. Here is the latest batch... They are closer to the original Style 3 Blingy Rotor, so while I like this design better than the last version (style 4), I really wish they would pick a design and stick to it.
Kit looks great good work, hope the 84 to 87 kit comes next. I just have a concern with the new bolt pattern holes being drilled so close to the old holes. Hard to tell from the pictures how much metal is actually between the two holes. Could we see an up close picture?

88's are all I focus on, so I will not be developing a kit for the 84-87.
This is about a close as I can get and there is about 1/8" material between the two patterns.
The other 13" brake kit (based on the Viper Rotors) has a smaller 6 bolt pattern and those 2 holes are actually slotted and become one figure "8".
Neither setup has proven to be an issue since the lug holes do very little besides allow the studs to pass through. The rings keep them centerd and the clamp load between the wheel and the wheel flange holds the rotor firmly in place.
Next week I will be modifying a set of my brackets/rings to work with some C4 12" rotors... as my new to me 88 will only have 16" wheels. If this pans out, I might offer these hybrid 12/13 brackets as an option. Buy them and start with the C4 12" rotors (which are $100+ cheaper than my 13" rotors), then over time upgrade the wheels and upgrade to 13"s when able without needing to buy new brackets.

I finally got my kit installed today. Everything went together smooth and was top quality. The car stops better and the brakes don't fade when warm like before. I am a very happy customer! Poor quality cell phone picture in a dark garage:

Sorry.
